License Plate/Marathon/Kendall/Thank-You Note
It couldn't be more simple for Delawareans to help spread awareness about childhood cancer. It won't even cost you anything extra for the plate!
MLK Day/Thank You Note/NYC Chapter/Wilmington Winter Classic
While I never had the privilege and honor of meeting the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I did have the honor of meeting another great lion of the civil rights movement, Congressman John Lewis.
Ali's New Year's Message
Scars. We all have them, right? I know I do. Some you see and some you don’t, but they all tell a story.
Year-End Planning
As we approach year-end, I've had a few B+ supporters ask me about donating stocks to help us fight childhood cancer and avoid a tax bite from Uncle Sam.
Happy Holidays
We are thrilled to share with you that The B+ Foundation has provided a second research grant to the Ben Towne Childhood Cancer Center (BTCCC) at Seattle Children's Hospital to support their fascinating work on immunotherapy.
Holiday Ideas
We've added a few new items to the B+ Store. Check out our sharp, new long sleeve tee shirts with a smaller logo, knit caps, tanks and more. Great holiday gifts for kids of all ages.
Fight Childhood Cancer by Shopping!
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday upon us, I'd like to invite you to help us fight childhood cancer simply by shopping on AmazonSmile.
A Weekend Full of Emotions...a Message from Ali
While talks of emotions seem to be taboo for some people, a range of emotions are very present in our lives without Andrew. As we left for the airport on Friday, my nerves were high. I’m not afraid of flying; in fact, I love it.
The Unseen 'Costs' of Childhood Cancer
There are so many 'costs' of childhood cancer that the outside world never sees. And, as significant as the financial costs are, the costs that I'm referring to are the non-financial ones which are often so much more damaging and, quite honestly, often much harder to 'fix'.
B+ Update - Meet Teeolah
I'd like to introduce you to 9 year old Teeolah. Teeolah is recovering from brain surgery that she had for her cancer in August. Unfortunately, she developed a syndrome which has rendered her mute and she is unable to eat by mouth.
Setting Records with Family Assistance
Such mixed feelings...I HATE that there are SO many families of kids with cancer...and so many need a helping hand.
Happy Birthday, Ali!
24 years ago today, Chris and I became parents for the first time. As I have said many times, my biggest dream and goal in life was to be a Dad. And, man am I blessed.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month - B+ Day at Seasons Pizza
A portion of the sale of Lg and XL pizzas will go to The B+ Foundation and, as with the entire month, all customers will be invited to add $1, $3, or $5 to their bill to help us fight childhood cancer.
September IS Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
The Philadelphia area chapter of the BMW Car Club of America hosted local B+ Heroes to New Jersey Motorsports Park for 2nd annual event.
Fri Aug 22nd
Due to a change in practice requirements for the players, Darren Sproles and Brandon Boykin are no longer available on Sunday and thus, the "Meet the Eagles" event at Firestone Restaurant has been postponed.
Thank You BMW DelVal Club!
One of the nice things about my job is seeing the way that people rally around the B+ Heroes and their families. They may not have ever met these kids, but these kind people are not 'strangers'.
Your Impact
We appreciate all of the nice 'thank-you' notes that we receive from our B+ families around the country. Can you believe that, because of you, we help families at approximately 225 hospitals around the country!!!
Meet the Eagles!
Join us on Sunday, August 24th from 2pm-8pm at Firestone on the Wilmington Riverfront to meet Philadelphia Eagles players Darren Sproles, Brandon Boykin, and Eagles cheerleaders.
Meet B+ Hero, Roger
Here's a note to you from Roger's Mom. "Thank you so much for the financial support that The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation gave to our family during our difficult struggle with leukemia.”
Catching Up
I apologize for not being timely with my updates on www.caringbridge.org/visit/andrewmcdonough and www.BePositive.org. We've had plenty going on and hopefully you're also following Ali's updates on our B+ Facebook page.
